Free contractor safety library

Learn what OSHA wants. Build the program when you're ready.

CrewCompliance maintains practical safety resources for contractors — calculators, checklists, OSHA guides, state compliance pages, sample documents, and update notes — so you can understand the requirements before you buy anything.

A safety resource center built for real crews, not legal departments.

Most small contractors only look up OSHA rules when a GC, insurer, prequalification platform, or inspector asks for documentation. This library is designed to make that moment less confusing.

What we maintain

  • Free calculators and quick checks
  • Plain-English OSHA safety guides
  • State compliance and state-plan references
  • Contractor prequalification explainers
  • Regulatory source links and update notes

Why contractors trust the guidance

Built around the OSHA standards contractors are commonly asked to document.

Our free resources are not generic blog fluff. They connect back to the same regulatory framework contractors deal with in written safety programs, GC requests, OSHA inspections, and prequalification reviews.

📋29 CFR + state-plan focusFederal OSHA plus state-plan references where rules differ.
🔧Trade-specific contextRoofing, electrical, HVAC/plumbing, general contractors, and more.
Audit-minded structureWritten for the way GCs, insurers, ISNetworld, and Avetta ask questions.
🔄Updated over timeWe keep expanding the resource library as requirements and questions change.

When you need the actual document, this is not just another template.

The free resources help you understand the rules. The paid CrewCompliance program turns that knowledge into trade- and state-tailored documentation built around your crew size, hazards, and common review needs.
